A QUEER CUSTOM.

After many vexatious delays 1 was in
formed that my boat would be ready manana.
The cargo was all on board, consisting prin-
cipally of cocoanuts and whisky and $4,000
in coin, intended for the purchase of gold dust
and platina- The coin consisted of five franc
pieces furnished by the bank Of France. The
crew was all complete but one man, who
would be on hand in time Manana came,
but not the man, and so it was for several
days then began to scold, but wrath was
of no use. l said: patron, what is the
matters" "Well. sir" he replied, "the man
has not yet completed his domestic arrange
ments." At the same time he looked at me
very significantly. / did not understand.
"Have all the others made satisfactory do
nestle arrangements% l asked. He saw that
did not catch on. He then informed me
that it was customary for the sailor husbands
to arrange with some other man to live with
and comfort their wives while they were
away Oh a voyage of perhaps two months,
for consideration of perhaps two dimes
a day., TO be paid by the husbands. In the
case of my last man his substitute wanted
three dimes day, taking advantage of the
scarcity OF men at the time, but eventually
this delicate matter was arbitrated satisfac-
torily and all became serene-Cor. San

at Charlottesville Monday, of the murder in
the second degree of j. R. Blackburn, near
Greenwood, Albemarle, in December, and
awarded eighteen years in the penitentiary.
Motions to set aside the verdict. and in arrest
of judgment were set aside by Judge White.
The prisoners counsel took an appeal to the
Circuit Court. During the whole of the trial
the prisoner sat with his head resting on his
right hand while his left held his hat between
his knees, position that he never varied. On
the first poll of the jury five were for hang
ing.
On Tuesday, last President Cleveland issued
a pardon for J. j. G. Dougherty. once for
| many years clerk in Staunton, who had been
serving three years sentence in Baltimore
city Jail for embezzling post office funds
The pardoned man however, had died the
Eek before, of which of course the President
was not aware; the papers in the case having
only been reached on Tuesday.
j. L. Witcher, former conductor on the
Chesapeake Il Ohio, WAS instantly killed at
Moorehead. KY. on tho 14th inst, by his
best friend John Trumbo, who was showing
him with pistol how quick he could defend
him self in case of on attank.

We know that a boy or man

entrap our boys We know that boy or man
of naturally refined tastes will turn with
Loaf hing from repulsive doggery until his
moral perceptions are blunted and clouded
through frequent visits to more attractive
place of the same kind. We grant that you
can raise a greater revenue through high
license when viewed from one standpoint. and
this is the only apparently good argument in
its favor, but let me appeal to the hearts of
the mothers in our community by using the
words of grand woman of our day-''Which
of your boys, the treasure of your heart and
life, will you give in order that your city may
be lighted with gas, or made brilliant with
electric light? Which child can you spare to
help your city grade and pave its street." or
even build school houses? If this traffic is still
licensed, some mothers boys. some of the
little prattlers who make our homes happy
now, must go to swell the ranks of the vic
Tins of the drink curse, be the license high or
low whose will they be? All! Mothers, if
half of what is told be true, you little know
to what dangers your boys are exposed by
reason of the existence of liquor saloons in
our community. God help you to awake to a
true sense of their danger ere it be too late!

If I Should Die Tonight.
Poem by Henry Ward Beecher. ]

Poem by Henry Ward Beecher.l
II should die tonight.
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid 1t in its resting place,
And deem that death had left 1t almost fair;
And laying SnOw-white flowers against my hair
Would smooth it down with fearful tenderness
And fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands, SO empty and 50 cold tonight,
If should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind with loving thought,
Sore kindly deeas the icy hands had wrought;
Some gentle wOrd the frozen lips had said;
brands on which the willing feet had sped.
The memory of my selfShneSs and pride,
My has sly words, would all be put aside,
and so should be loved anu mOurned tonight
If should die tonight,
Fen hearts esJranged would turn once more to me,
Recalling other days reinOrselully.
The eyes that chill me with averted glance
Would look upon me as Of yOre. perchance,
And soften in the old familiar way,
For who could war with dumb. unconscious clay
SO, might rest forgiven of all tonight
Oh, friends. pray tonight
Keep not your kisses for my dead cold brow,
The Way is lOneiy-let me feel Them now.
Think gently of me; am traveI-wOrn;
My falIering feet are pierced with many a thorn.
Forgive, oh. hearts estranged, forgive. plead!
When dreamleSS rest Is mine shall not need
The tenderness for which long tonight.
The above beautiful poem by Mr.
Beecher. still more pathetic since his
death. was written five years ago. It was
boldly pirated by H. Rider Haggard, the
author of "She" ard other works, and may
be found inserted in his novel, 'Jess.'1

there, March 10th, of Mr.. James A. Bickle, q
veteran printer, fer thirty~fye years resi-

the Wysheville ''Dispatch" for eighteen years.
His age was ffty-two. He died at his place,
"Camp Jackson" and while the immmediats
cause of his death was pneumonia, his disease
was aggravated by grief over the loss of his
wife, who had died week before. His fu-
neral took place from the Presbyterian church
which he had joined on the proceeding Sab

have heard that at the last meeting of

the butchers we're all willing to go to the

say $165 per stall. Having since heard
that some of the butchers had indicated
that they did not wish to 60 to the new

it would be right and proper before incur

to ask that the butchers OF the city say in
writing to the council, exactly what
guarantees they wish the council to make.
